Episode 9 scene by scene

00:00: Agni Saves Lucia
Agni exhales his dragon breath directly into Lucia to keep her alive. Left without any breath, Elara screams in severe pain. Dark markings spread across Elara's neck, and she coughs up blood on the rocky ground.
00:12: Lucia Embraces the Dragon Lord
The dragon breath fills Lucia with desire. She pulls Agni down onto the ground, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him. Elara stays on the rocky wasteland nearby and watches the two of them together in complete despair.
00:36: Elara Steps into the Abyss
Elara accepts that Agni does not love her anymore. She tells him that she rejects his breath and his protection. Turning away from him, she steps off the edge of the cliff and falls backward into the dark abyss below.
01:12: Agni Looks for Elara
Agni pauses on the rocks and asks where Elara went. Lucia tells him that Elara probably left already. She brushes off Elara's absence and pulls Agni back down into her arms, demanding his attention.
01:26: A Chained Dragon Awakens
Elara falls through the subterranean darkness. A single tear drops from her face and lands on a glowing sealing circle on the cavern floor. The seal shatters, freeing a giant chained dragon that roars and flies upward into the air.
01:47: Caius Catches Elara
The soaring dragon shifts into human form as Caius Obsidian. He catches Elara mid-air above the cavern altar. He whispers that she is finally in his arms, calls her his bride, and presses a kiss to her lips.
